Success stories of toppers show that students must develop the ability to overcome stress. Preparing for board exams doesn't mean giving up one's hobbies or passions, which actually act as stress busters.
Students shouldn't study continuously for long hours and take breaks, eat healthy, relax, and get sufficient sleep. Reducing sleep time and recreational activities would affect one's health and must be avoided.
